How to pause game and display new layer in corona

Question

I am new to corona. I want to ask that how can I make pause functionality in any game.

For example I want to make a pause button that pauses game and display some buttons with a resume button.

Is there any way to do this? With story-board or any other functions or object?

Answer 1

yes you can do it with storyboard to give you an idea implementing pause button if you are using animation,physics,timer,transition etc.. that needs to be pause you must call their specific pause function and if you want to display resume and some other button you can make an overlay of that scene and then hide it so when the user presses the pause button you can show it.
